Had to classify it as a laboratory computer to get it through the 'pc purchasing policy' :) I like it very much, really nice high resolution screen. One thing I can add as I haven't found it in any other review: It got a 15V/5A PSU, with a slightly thick looking (~7 mm diameter) connector to the PC. The reason I was searching for this before I bought, is that 19V seems to be most common voltage (I have a few old 19V PSUs, and can usually borrow one if low on batt - but not this time :-( I'll also add what has been said many times: It's noisy, the fan is on all the time, its so noisy that I've decreased the CPU power, even when running AC, to the absolute minimum. At full power I can't use it in a quiet room. But still, the portability of it is nice and makes up to the above points. Even though I have to carry the PSU with me all the time...

That's why I'm getting a second battery, I hope to bring it to about 5-6 hours! Yeah well, it is just a bit lower than average laptops, although the Tablet coolness makes up for it :p .

Especially with a device like this I'd like to have about 5-6 hours withouth having to switch battery. I must say I’m not really impressed by the battery life. 2-3 hours?
